\f0\fs24 \cf0 #### README File for Scott, Lane and Schoenherr, "You Better Shop Around: Litigant Characteristics and Supreme Court Support" ##### \
\
\
File Name: AppenFigureA6A7_racialResentment.R \
\
File Type:  R (R Studio Version 1.4.1103)\
\
\
Description: This file creates Figures A6 and A7. Figure A6 captures the predicted support for the Supreme Court after reading about a decision upholding an affirmative action policy among White and Black respondents respectively. Figure A7 captures the predicted support for the Supreme Court after reading about a decision upholding a gun control policy among White and Black respondents respectively. In both figures, we examine within group differences among White and Black respondents in their racial resentment attitudes. Racial resentment is treated as an ordinal level variable here and measured as low, median and high. \
\
The predicted values were generated using the AppenRacialResentmentModels.do Stata script.\
\
Data Files referenced in the script: \
- OG_AA_RacialResentment.txt (text file) - Predicted values generated in Stata that capture attitudes toward the Supreme Court about an affirmative action policy decision; includes White and Black respondents\
\
- OG_GC_RacialResentment.txt (text file) - Predicted values generated in Stata that capture attitudes toward the Supreme Court about an gun control policy decision; includes White and Black respondents\
\
\
We describe the variables included in each of the data files below. \

## Data File: OG_AA_RacialResentment.txt ##\
\
- respType: Defines whether respondent identifies as White or Black (Response options: \'93black\'94 and \'93white\'94\
\
- identity: Defines where respondents fall on the racial resentment scale. Racial resentment is traditionally measured as an interval level variable scaled from 0 to 1. However, for ease of graphing with treat racial resentment as an ordinal variable. (Response options: \'93Low\'94 - 0; \
\'93Median\'94 - 0.50; \'93High\'94 - 1)\
\
-  count: corresponds to the treatment group that respondents were assigned to (Response options: 1 - White Male Treatment; 2 - Black Male Treatment; 3 - White Female Treatment; 4 - Black Female Treatment; 5 - Control)\
\
- treatment: provides a more descriptive label for the treatment groups that respondents were assigned to (Response options: \'93WM\'94 - White Male Treatment; \'93BM\'94 - Black Male Treatment; \'93WF\'94 - White Female Treatment; \'93BF\'94 - Black Female Treatment; \'93Control\'94 - Control)\
\
- margin: predicted values derived from Stata script (AppenRacialResentmentModels.do) \
\
- StdEr: standard error associated with predicted values derived from Stata script (AppenRacialResentmentModels.do)\
\
- Z: Z values associated with predicted values derived from Stata script (AppenRacialResentmentModels.do)\
\
- Pz: Probability associated with predicted values derived from Stata script (AppenRacialResentmentModels.do)\
\
- LB: Lower bound of confidence interval associated with predicted values derived from Stata script (AppenRacialResentmentModels.do)\
\
- UB: Upper bound of confidence interval l associated with predicted values derived from Stata script (AppenRacialResentmentModels.do)\
